Recently, I got asked about which television characters inspire me fashion-wise. While I sometimes indulge in episodes of various shows on the idiot box, I have to say, fashion-wise, The Gossip Girls have got to be the most well-dressed characters on TV. With almost ever girl wanting to dress like Blair or Serena, stylist Eric Daman has created a fashion phenomenon via Gossip Girls. Mixing high end lines with names like H&M, Forever 21, Top shop.. the Gossip Girls' closet is both aspirational as well as approachable. Here are some of my favorite looks...
So.. Her Majesty has invited me to the Royal Wedding.. except they've seated me so far behind (next to Aishwarya and Abhishek) Im practically in India! None-the-less, I will be wearing a fancy hat, having a cup of tea, maybe a cupcake as well and watching Will and Kate on the telly... here's wishing them a long and happy marriage (insert curtsey here).
Wish I was closer to London to see all the pomp and ceremony.. anyway.. the Royal Wedding souvenirs I've been seeing online are ridiculous.. just how much crap can one souvenir shop hold?! Have they gone a bit crazy cashing in on the Wedding? Possibly.. but I do love some bits of the Royal ridiculousness...I intend to get the following souvenirs asap. What are your favorite silly souvenirs?
On a related note, I'd switch to T-mobile just for their marketing. They've restored my faith in peace and humanity :) Here's their latest video:
Found the quote while I was still enjoying my 'Beatles' phase.. finally making this bucket list that I've been planning for ages.. I have a feeling this is going to be one ever-expanding list!
